RE: MS Project

Hi Steven,

Thank you for your question.

The PERT chart is the old name for the Network Diagram view in the more recent versions of Project.

PERT stands for Program, Evaluation, and Review Technique and is used to work out estimated durations. The Pert Analysis toolbar is available in the View Toolbars menu.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon

Ms project tip:

Autofit column width – Project (all versions)

a. Highlight the column or columns you wish to alter the width of.
b. Double click the dividing line between the columns. This dividing line is the break between the columns on the column headers (grey buttons showing the column letter at the top of each column). When you hover your mouse over one of these dividing lines the point will change and show an arrow pulling a line in two directions. When you have this mouse pointer you should double click to get Project to automatically set the column width to fit the contents of the column (autofit)
